“Went for Easter lunch and it was fabulous.“

“I've tried just about everything on the menu at Shady Grove Foods and nothing disappoints. I can close my eyes and put my finger on the menu and I would be happy wherever it landed. I had Sticky Bones again tonight and I'm as thrilled as the first time I tried them and all the other times I've had them and in fact I feel like tonight's were the best ever. I seriously enjoy their food and hospitality. The hardest part is driving back to Cal Heights without opening the box and start eating. Compliments to the whole staff and guys cooking it up in the back. It's about to get even better real soon. I can't wait. Stay tuned. . . .“

“The most incredible catering company ever! I used TGIS for my wedding in Malibu. They were the most professional, organized and responsible company. All of my guests raved about the food, the bartenders were so fun and on it, and the timing was seamless. Jeremy goes out of his way to make you feel calm and taken care of. He is honest, trustworthy and responsible. I can't wait to use them again for any catering needs. I recommend them to everyone!“

“I only have GREAT things to say about Olive Wood Pizza! The pizza, pasta and salad were absolutely delicious, they arrived on time for set up (they were early, actually) and their food presentation was perfect! Brooke (admin.) was super easy to work with pre-event day, and then of course the staff handled everything superbly on the day. As an event coordinator who is always looking for great food vendors, Olive Wood Pizza will now be my first phone call..... I am happy to use them time and time again for my events!“

“Critics went above and beyond for my bridal shower! I had a small rooftop gathering of about 20 gals and Kaycie knew exactly how to handle this type of event. From the menu selection to the set-up, it was absolutely stunning and my guests were raving over the avocado toast bar! I really enjoyed working with Kaycie and her energy is amazing! She is very personable, very professional and because of that, I will continue to use Critics for future events.“

“Oh my goodness the pizza is very good. They attended an event at Harbor UCLA Med Ctr and saw their truck and had to try it. Definitely will keep them in mind for an event or just to see what part of the area they will be. 🤗💖“

“My husband and I used Emuna for several of our wedding events, and it was an absolute pleasure to work with John and his team. We had a vision for our welcome party, and John partnered with us on every detail to make it come to life -- it turned out better than we ever imagined! We especially appreciated the willingness to customize to our needs, rather than provide a generic offering. We highly recommend Emuna and will definitely partner with them again in the future!“

“A delicious made from scratch falafel in a great sandwich. Friendly staff. Since my first review I have returned and tried their Chicken and Cheese sandwich. Even better then the falafel sandwich! It is a chicken salad sandwich with lots of yummy chicken salad and Swiss cheese. I had their regular French fries 🍟 Very tasty. Again the staff was very friendly and helpful. Did I mention the tasty chicken?😋😋“

“Delicious food and awesome ppl! Pepperoni sandwich was awesome. Pepperonis soooo tasty. Best mozz sticks I think I’ve ever had. Homemade ? Either way can’t recommend this truck enough. Order and enjoy ❤🇮🇹“

“The moment the food came out, everyone was smiling.

I’ve been working with Made by Meg Catering over the years for my clients’ events, and they are always such a joy to experience. Not only is the food consistently delicious, but every dish is beautifully presented and thoughtfully executed. You can tell they put as much care into the guest experience as they do into the flavors themselves.

Their team is professional, organized, and wonderful to work with. Everything feels seamless from start to finish, which makes such a difference on an event day.

If you're looking for a catering team that delivers incredible food, beautiful presentation, and exceptional service, Made by Meg is a wonderful choice. Highly recommend!“

“We hired Pucker Up to do a custom hydration station lounge for our animal-themed baby shower, and Kar, the owner, designed, installed, and delivered an incredible station of lemonades, spa waters, and accutramonts styled to be completely on brand and aligned with our decor. Loved working with her. From consultation calls to sharing a Pinterest board, her final display was the major focal point of the party, and the decor she came up with blew everyone away! Thank you!!“

“This place served us authentic and delicious Thai dishes. The service lady was very nice and polite. We ordered a lot of food for lunch and they managed to bring them out on a good time even though there were a good number of customers. Massaman curry, pad Thai, pad sew ew, larb, fried rice, sticky rice with fresh mango, were all amazing delicious. The ceiling were decorated with colorful upside down umbrellas which made for some great pictures. Their prices were very reasonable.“

“Good portions for the price
I ordered the 2 meat plate which came with 2 sides and a drink. It came to about 30 after tax and it was worth it.

The beef link was spicy and delicious, the amount of brisket I got was surprisingly large and the corn was amazing.

The staff were extremely kind and I would definitely come back again.“

“Where to even begin with how incredible Cave Catering was? First, people were raving about the food for days. We had the lamb chops when we went for the (super professional, beautiful, immaculate) tasting and fell in love. We knew everyone would love them, and we were right! The shrimp cocktail was divine, and we also had the shrimp aguachile shooters because we couldn’t decide between the two. Grilled cheese, bruschetta, and caprese skewers were also a hit because they were so easy to eat at a cocktail hour and tasted delicious.

On top of that, Chef Nicole saved our wedding multiple times before it even happened. Any time we asked for something (renting linens, silverware, extra servers), she was quick to respond and provided anything we needed. We even texted her at 11pm the night before the rehearsal dinner because we figured out our chargers were broken. Her chargers were rented out that weekend, but she tracked some down and brought them to the wedding. The day of our event, she was on time, professional, and provided amazing staff.

We can’t emphasize enough how lucky we felt to have found Cave Catering. We will definitely be hiring them again for our next event.

“Loved the Oktoberfest there!“

“The chef ( and his wife) are GREAT PEOPLE! They are very professional and the food is EXCELLENT!!! Check them out today!!!!!“

“Everything is amazing down to the last detail The food is out of this world“

“The food is next level. The heart behind City Catering is to serve the city.“

“Lalo’s did a great job catering our wedding, as our venue had some challenging restrictions with short load in / setup / load out timelines (including being fully outdoors, with no kitchen). All the waiters and waitresses were very professional, and we truly appreciated the Lalo’s team working within our budget. Thank you again, to the entire staff.“

“These guys do a great job with everything. I love all of their hot sauces.“

“Came down from Oregon and landed upon this place. We got the molcajete, the meat was sooo tender, chicken was juicy, and the camarones were huge! I got a quesadilla and even that was bomb! We still talk about this place all the time now that we're back home. Will definitely come back when I get the chance! The service was also really great!“

“One of my favorite catering and pop up food companies in LA! They do a Saturday event in front of sold out society thrift store in the fashion district on Saturday's downtown LA! Highly recommended spot for their rotating menu with healthy plates. ??“

“I worked with Jeff and Robert for the reception of my Mom’s Celebration of Life last May. They were very professional and so easy to work with. They were always patient in answering my questions and concerns. They also made sure to recommend then tailor the menu to match my needs and was able to work within my budget. Highly recommend Graze Catering. Will surely work with them again. Thank you so much Jeff & Robert.“

“I had my wedding banquet in my backyard, and we picked Pimenta because they are really transparent that they don't have an extra charge on the invoice - only what they mentioned on the website. It's also because my partner stays in Brazil some of the time, and we were engaged in Brazil, too, so we wanted to have a Brazilian BBQ at the party. And I could tell the taste is the same as in Brazil! Pimenta is owned by a Brazilian couple, Marcelo and Maria, and my partner informed me that they speak Portuguese to each other. So it's really authentic!

Premium BBQ Combo
Appetizers: Classic Chicken Coxinhas, Cheese bread (Pao de Queijo) On-Site Grilled BBQ: Premium Picanha Steak, Toscana Sausage, Chicken Party Wings, Grilled Shrimp
Buffet Salad: Tropical Salad, Brazilian Vinaigrette
Buffet Hot Sides: White Rice, Black Beans, Tomato Penne, Mixed Veggies
Dessert: Pudim

The food was all incredibly tasty and amusing. All of my friends, family members, my colleagues, and even my boss enjoyed the food so much!!!

We were a little bit worried because they didn't provide a tasting session, but the food is truly amazing, better than what we imagined. And the portion is so big that we couldn't finish the food with 36 guests! Marcelo and Maria are great, too. Easy to work with. We will find them once again if we host big events again! Definitely recommended!“

“Has become a usual weekend dinner spot , amazing food cooked by amazing people. I have tried almost every cut of meat and they don’t disappoint. The kalbi ribs is my favorite but if you like spicy get the spicy pork. Another fave is the bulgogi and pork belly. They give a good amount of food for the price. Always fresh! Check them out. And support your local small business. See you guys next week!“

“Excellent menu. Excellent food.“

“Taco 🌮 we had tonight were fantastic.“

“Coming from a country/mountain boy with Guatemalan and Mexican roots, let me say this is the place to eat if you’re looking for real home-cooked food made with love. From the chicken to the rice and plantains, every bite comes together with a perfect mix of flavors that’s hard to beat and gives you that same comfort and nourishment as your mom’s cooking. Ever since I tried it for the first time, it’s been my go-to spot 3–4 times a week after work. Highly recommend y’all“

“Our wedding was on October 20, 2018 and the decorations and setting came out as my fiancé expected and actually exceeded them. Let me tell you, Carlos and his team are such professionals that they took a major load off our backs mainly my fiancé. We sat down with Carlos At his office a year prior to our wedding and he asked us what we’re looking for and he had his pen and paper noting everything down. Months passed and we again met with Carlos this time at the South End hall for the food tasting and he didn’t disappoint....the food was amazing and our guests told us after the wedding how much they loved food. We again met with Carlos and his daughter Karla and they showed us the table setting with the colors my fiancé wanted and she loved it since that’s what she envisioned. We wanted custom chairs for our sweetheart table and Carlos went above and beyond to get them for us. We couldn’t wait to see the final product and the day of the wedding we were amazed!!! Oh and the cocktail hour setting and appetizers were a major plus as well. For those out there reading these reviews, look no further. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed and with his help along with his family and his other staff, you’re planning will be not as stressful. Just as long as you provide him with details as to what your looking for and envision on your big day, Carlos can make it happen. Thank you Carlos, Karla and everyone single one of his staff member for their amazing help!!!!!!“

“Managing a small party in La Mirada with their chocolate fountain setup. Great spread and amazing selections. Great fresh fruits. A favorite among the guests.“

“Today was my 1st time here but most definitely won’t be my last. I ordered the delicious turkey taco. I can’t wait to try more. Next up is a the 7-layer dip, which happens to be one of my favorites! I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner of this nice establishment. She was very welcoming and helpful. Great vibes and food. You will not be disappointed!“

“Food was delicious! Ahí Tuna was done to perfection!“

Definitely recommend.“

“Great waters and friendly staff :)“

“We used them for a celebration of life for my Gran. We had a variety of desserts and hot coffee and tea. They set everything up beautifully for us and we got multiple compliments on everything, especially the muffins and cookies. Everything was fresh and delicious.“

“This place is a gem! The food is terrific - nice and fresh and tasty. The staff brings your tray to your table, which is so nice in my opinion! The place feels homey. Nice music. Expansive menu. The mango pineapple smoothie is $7.50 but MAN. That was the best smoothie I think I've ever had. I always wanted to try this place, since I always pass it on the bus. I finally did and it was a great experience. I highly recommend stopping by! I know I'll be back.“

“Me encanta su Servicio, muy amables la comida deliciosa sirven rápido me gusta mucho este Restaurante se los recomiendo al 💯.“

“Delicious food, I love the shish kebabs & rice! 😋“

“What a great concept!!! Really like what they got and how they keep it legendary!“

“Worked here a few weeks before COVID lockdowns happened in late March of 2020, flights cancelled at a rate of 90% is what I was told a week prior to the lock downs began. It was an ok work place, worked in the area where you put gummy bears, chips etc in the trays that fit into the carts. I'm not sure if it's a continued practice or not to this day but when I was there we repackaged any food that was unopened over and over again, much of the same food's been on multiple flight's.“

“Great pasta. Very pleased thanks“
